Faced with Kinoshita Koichiro's resignation, Li Xiao was suddenly very surprised.

I only heard Kinoshita Koichiro say with a calm face: "My lord, my subordinates are from Owari peasants, and I was promoted to a samurai by my lord, and I was entrusted to my subordinates by my lord, so I am not very grateful." However, under the Zengshan Castle, the snake-tailed Bei trained by the subordinates was defeated by the Uesugi army and felt deeply humiliated. ”

Li Xiao listened to Kinoshita Koichiro's statement, and suddenly understood that it was because of the battle of Masuyama Castle and the unfavorable performance of the snake tail led by Kinoshita Koichiro, so he was under pressure, so he had to resign.

"His subordinates are not as good as Lord Shima Shengmeng, their martial arts are not as good, their battle formations are not as good, and their decisions are not as good as their decision, and they are really not worthy of being listed as the general of the snake tail with Lord Shima Shengmeng. His Majesty is ashamed of the cultivation of the Lord, so he implores the Lord's dismissal from his position as a general. ”

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yilang, do you really think so in your heart?" ”

"Yes."

"Then you are wrong," Li Xiao said categorically, "There is anyone in this world who is a natural general, if it is not for experience, people who are born to fight without hard work, I have never seen it before, you don't need to blame yourself for this." ”

"But my lord, I don't have enough talent."

"Don't overestimate talent, as this will only make the word hard work lose its meaning. In my opinion, perseverance is better than the so-called talent for a flash of inspiration. And Lord Shima Shengmeng is the number one general under my Li Xiao, so he naturally has his advantages, but you don't need to be ashamed of this, you also have many places that others are not good at. ”

Kinoshita Koichiro's body shook and asked, "Praised by the lord, the subordinates didn't know that they were so valued by the lord?" ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "If you are not confident, then the so-called advantages in my eyes are not advantages." Do it well, don't let others say that I, Li Xiao, have no vision for people. ”

"Oh, your subordinates will definitely swear to repay the service and train the snake tail into a strong army for the lord." Kinoshita Koichiro agreed loudly, and immediately turned around and retreated.

Looking at Kinoshita Koichiro's back, Li Xiao smiled slightly, thinking that it was really not easy to be the lord, and if necessary, he needed to do a good job of giving confidence to others.

In fact, Li Xiao's confidence in Kinoshita Koichiro comes more from historical understanding.

According to the ancient saying, Shima Katsu is worthy of being the general of the generals, conquering the city, and his surname is tenacious and tenacious, these evaluations are well deserved, and Kinoshita Koichiro, although inferior to Shima Katsuyo in terms of leading ability, but his strength lies in his ability to mediate, can unite the generals, let them perform their duties, play their respective roles, and stabilize the morale of the soldiers.

This is also a rare and valuable quality, which is the so-called ability to general.

Otherwise, Koichiro Kinoshita would not have become Toyotomi Hideyoshi's deputy in history, taking on the side alone, and commanding more than 100,000 troops to conquer the Nagamune family of Shikoku.

And the current dormancy is only short-lived, and they also need to experience to reach the height of the future, but Li Xiao is convinced that all the generals he has dug up can play a role under his command, and they will have a brilliant future in the future.

But after persuading Kinoshita Koichiro, Li Xiao fell into a problem, and now he is indeed very short of generals with troops, although he tries his best to win over the local talents in Vietnam, but there are no generals in Yuezhong who can be of great use.

His own banner was about to be established, but he lacked a strong enough general to dominate, which made Li Xiao fall into the dilemma of having no talent available for a while.

At present, Li Xiaoqi is in the middle of the preparation, Shigang Yiyu has followed Li Xiao for a long time, and his martial arts are outstanding, as a swordsman, he is absolutely competent if he wants to fight with others, but he is not competent as a general.

Another general, Tsuchiya Changheng, who 'killed a thousand people with one hand' in history, is also excellent in martial arts, skilled in archers and horses, and is an excellent cavalry general, but he has just been subdued, and his experience is still good, and he is not suitable for leading troops.

As for the newly-earned Usami Katsuyuki, he is resourceful, and he has won the essence of the Usami clan, the originator of the Echigo Art of War, and is also proficient in the art of war, but he lacks the courage to serve the public, and Li Xiao also doesn't dare to trust this person, and always feels that he has something to hide from him.

So to put it mildly, only Li Xiao himself is the head of the flag, but Li Xiao, as the general general, is to command the three armies and lead the overall situation when fighting, and if he is asked to command a reserve team, it will definitely distract him.

Therefore, recruiting talents has now become Li Xiao's top priority.

As for how to recruit talents, Li Xiao, as a traverser, naturally has a way to grasp it according to the historical context.

After Kinoshita Koichiro left, Li Xiao pondered in the room, at this moment he really wanted to have a book of Taige 5 in his hand, and conduct a big search for all the ronins in the opposition during this period of time in history, and finally send people one by one to trap each other and arrest them back to serve themselves.

It's so easy.

In the end, Li Xiao still made a list of more than 20 names, and the people listed on it were all people who would tremble when they said their names in the history of the Warring States Period in later generations, and left a lot of marks in the history books.

Among the lists, such as Toyotomi Nibei, the two famous military divisions Takenaka Hanbei, and Kuroda Kanbei;

Even Toyotomi Hideyoshi is jealous of the man Gamo clan;

the representative of the Warring States Period, Akechi Mitsuhide, and his son-in-law Akechi Hideman;

The elegant and famous man Gutian Chongran of tea and martial arts;

Masuda Nagamori and Maeda Genyi in the Toyotomi Five Commission;

swore to the moon that after seven hardships and eight hardships, he would also revive the prosperity of the Nizi family in the mountains;

Horio Yoshiharu of Toyotomi's three junior high school elders;

Keiji Maeda, the world's first wonder;

Naomasa Akakai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa;

There is also the Warring States Sleeping Master Fujido Gaohu who left the name of 'Loyal Ministers and Not the Two Masters'.

This is what Li Xiao racked his brains and recalled, and at the end of the list, there was also a place where this military general might be located, or a force that was emerging, and then ordered Yokoya Yukiyoshi to hand it over to Yokoya Yukishige, and let him use all means to find out these people, find out this person's thoughts, and use all means to recruit the other party again.

If such a team can be gathered, the lineup under Li Xiao can be the Star River Team of the Warring States Period, the trump card of the trump card, which is almost equivalent to the world star team of football.

It's a pity, Li Xiao can only think about this lineup.

These people are the temporary choice of famous ministers and good generals during the Warring States Period, everyone has their own ambitions, aspirations, and surnames, if they think that they can be persuaded and recruited by a few words, Li Xiao must think that he is still playing games.

With Li Xiao's current personal reputation, although he holds the mountain of the Takeda family, he is not the best choice for these heroes at present.

This is not the ambition of Taiko, Nobunaga's ambition.

At this time, Li Xiao can only look at his own character value, among these more than 20 people, it is already burning high incense, if Yokotani Yushige finally tells himself, none of them will join, Li Xiao will not express the slightest surprise.

Anyway, Li Xiao is just casting a wide net now, and then expects to catch more fish, as for whether the fish can be baited, this is not something he can do at the moment.

However, Li Xiao's advantage is that he can rely on his historical knowledge to tap these talents at a very small time to see if he can recruit them when the other party is not famous.

Kogen Suwa Castle.

As a powerful family of Hida, the Eima family, the castle tower had just changed owners a year ago.

Compared with the previous head of the family, Jiangma Shisheng, Jiangma Fraser appears younger, more ambitious, and more ambitious.

At present, the Jiangma family has a new pattern because of the entry of Jiangma Huisheng.

Completely recovered from a year ago, because of the turmoil in the family.

Now in the castle tower, Jiangma Huisheng is secretly receiving the messenger of the sister road, sister Xiaolu Laigang.

Efsheng Edama and his sister Yoritsuna sat opposite each other, drinking sake together.

Jiangma Huisheng glanced at his sister Lu Lai Gang, who was sitting, and then said: "Lord Nayan, can you be healthy?" ”

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang smiled and said: "The head of the family has always been in good health, and I have been bothered by Lord Chang Lu. ”

Jiangma Huisheng smiled and said: "Hearing the health of Lingzun's body, so I can rest assured, Lord Da Nayan is the first capable person of Hida, if it is not for the time of the Hida, with his ability, if he is in charge of Takeda, Uesugi, I am afraid that the hegemony of Shangluo will be achieved long ago." ”

"It's a pity that Hida is too small and lacks national strength. My Jiangma and Sister Xiaolu have been stuck in the land of one country for many years, and they have been fighting with each other, but they have not seen each other. ”

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang listened to Jiangma Huisheng's words, and also nodded and said: "Lord Changlu, what you said is good, I am flying in all directions, if you are enterprising in Vietnam, Shinano, and Meinon, they can all be attacked and defended, why bother to focus on the barren country." ”

"Fortunately, at present, the mediation of the two economic leaders has reached a consensus, and it is really our luck to be able to stop the harmony between them, but our purpose must first completely pull out the power of the Takeda family in my Hida."

Listening to the words of his sister Xiaolu Laigang, Jiangma Huisheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Takeda Shingenzhi's ambition to annex Hida is well known to passers-by, and I have not had a stable foothold in Jiangma's family this year, so I have to temporarily attach myself to him. And now, with the support of the Governor, our three wealthy clans in Vietnam and Central China have been brought under his command, and it is time to work together to uproot the Takeda family. ”

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang smiled and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Jiangma when he can raise troops, my sister Xiaolu's family is ready." ”

Efosa Fraser smiled and was about to reply, when a samurai entered and whispered a few words beside Efos.

Efa Prosperity showed a slight look of surprise on his face, it turned out that the envoy of the Takeda family had arrived at Suwa Castle in the plateau.

Jiangma Huisheng showed a little weak look on his face, and said to his sister Lai Gang at the moment: "Please sit down for a while, I have something important to do, and we will talk about it later." ”

After speaking, Jiangma Huisheng strode out, and his sister Lu Lai Gang, who stayed in the house, showed a puzzled look on her face.
